• Who are you ?

My name is Louis Gibiard, I am a 23 year old independent illustrator. I live in France and work from my room!

• Why Vladinsk ?

I was born in Chelyabinsk, Russia. I was adopted at the age of 5 and before being changed, my name was Vladimir. I just made a silly mix of these two words, Vlad-insk.

• When did you start drawing ?

There wasn’t access to pens or pencils at the orphanage, so I started having fun with those at around 7. Then never stopped!
